The glance into the Zen philosophy of a Manga household.
A sequential performance by liquid.loft
The term "superflat", coined in Japan mainly by Takashi Murakami, describes not only the comic or Manga as a form of communication, but also characterizes it as a conceptually flattening society of the post-post modern.
The experience and „reality“ of communication are shifting increasingly towards a bi dimensional surface.
Animation is nothing more than a series of images, that differ from one another minimally. But through playing them at the correct speed, they give the impression of an organic movement.
An image has copied and advanced itself here, in order to return to it’s own, two dimensional reality.
Inspired by this thought, liquid.loft is searching for the way of the samurai on stage, Feng Shui is exercised in cyberspace and chopstick high- jumping carries the performers to the classical Pas de Deux.
The performance lapses as an image progression of a Manga figure, trying to reanimate its private idyll which has become senseless, in order to write a possible storyboard for a future existence on screen.
